CX-5 / Re: Proximity sensors
« Last Post by Nickg on November 04, 2024, 04:46:44 pm »
Hi,
Just checked the site and saw your reply - thank you.
I'm in Dorset right on the Hampshire border.
I have bee having a play and lo and behold the parking sensors have returned to normal working.
Heaven only knows what was done and by whom but they work after baking into a telegraph poll and causing some damage.
Glad it was me and not my better half.
Thanks again

Steering/Suspension/Brakes / replace front lower arm ball joint and outer tie rod boot
« Last Post by kiakid2 on November 01, 2024, 05:54:06 pm »
Has anybody had to replace front lower arm ball joint and outer tie rod – because the boot have perisher and deteriorated. It’s quite upsetting to have to replace these on a 2017 car they should have lasted longer and at only 42k

Quoted £1500

May help, though these sensors not detailed;
https://fusecheck.com/mazda/mazda-cx-5-2012-2017-fuse-diagram

When you take respective fuse box cover off there is normally embossed
lettering giving individual fuse assignments.

To avoid the analysis charge from the stealer [£120 in my area:(],
consider using a mobile auto sparky. I can recommend one
that covers Thames Valley, but your profile gives no location for you.

CX-5 / Proximity sensors
« Last Post by Nickg on October 16, 2024, 01:28:22 pm »
Hi,  for some reason the parking sensors on my wife's CX5 have stopped working. The sensor activation button still seems to work in that its lamp goes on/off when it is pressed. The sensors no longer react to anything near the car.  However for some reason the reversing sensor does still operate correctly.

I don't even know which fuse to check so help and ideas please before I have to endure the dealers sucked teeth and financial thumping!!  :(

Thank you

Maintenance / Re: AdBlue reading stuck on 100%
« Last Post by bw10030 on August 21, 2024, 03:44:40 pm »
Well mine has been stuck on 100% for about a year, however the mileage has been decreasing. I filled the tank up at a Adblue pump and probably overfilled it - I got warnings for a couple of weeks afterwards! The mileage has now come down by 10000 miles (yes really! - ten thousand) and today it finally showed 95% full.

So it looks like if you overfill, it goes to something like 200% measured capacity (must be a long filler neck!) but it will decrease and start working again eventually.

I mentioned it at the dealers - Mazda are aware and will drain the tank (for a charge) to get it working again. Leave well alone if it costs is my advice!

My next plan is to wait until it shows about 50% and then put 5 litres in, then see what it goes to. That way I can be confident its working OK. If the mileage readout was to be believed, I had enough Adblue for 26000 miles when it was full!

It's poor design - either you should not be able to overfill, or if you do then after a short distance (say 500 mies) it should start to work again. This looks like there is an awful lot of the tank above the 100% full (according to the gauge) which you have to use before it starts to read again, which isn't a good plan!

Wheels & Tyres / Re: 19 inch wheels corroding
« Last Post by Cloughie on August 21, 2024, 01:15:18 pm »
Just 10 months old and sub 5500 miles.  Surface corrosion, particularly on the fronts.  Will be making a claim.

Modification Projects / Re: Fitting a dashcam in New CX-5

Just looked into this as I had not heard of it before.  Seems you can now buy a RHD model.  Web site is priced in £. £195 will get the top model with front and rear cameras.

I would go for it but I have just fitted a Nextbase dual camera.

« Last Post by rmvf on August 15, 2024, 07:57:56 pm »
Well its been over 2 years since last post, car has been faultless and outstanding, repeated the mpg test a few months ago on the motorway and cannot get over 44mpg. But still happy with that for a petrol. A workmate has just purchased the automatic version so i will ask him how he gets on with it.
